The Art of Pamela Watters

"Pastel is my medium of choice because my objective is to create bold and dynamic art with gesured energy. I love the pure colors, the immediacy and the feeling that the pastel stick is an extension of my fingers. "

Color. Bright, vivid, rich. This is the hallmark of Pamela Watter's work. Watters grew up in Fort Payne, Alabama, in the shadow of Lookout Mountain. Because few opportunities to study art were available, Pamela spent hours at the public library, pouring over the work of great artists. "Early on, I developed a love of the natural world, endlessly sketching the countryside, a never-ending source of inspiration. Landscapes reflect my love of the lush surroundings found in the Southeast, " she states. By combining techniques of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists with the outrageous colors of the Fauves, Watters conveys a sense of excitement, a feeling of shimmering light and movement that captures the eye and imagination of the viewer. Her work is represented in private and public collections across the country, including those of Ellis Marsalis, The Delta Blues Museum, Michael Moore, Summit Records and the U.S. Government. She lives in Atlanta.
